The Reading Cemetery Division now offers on-line burial search to the public. To access it, please click the Search Cemetery Records link above.
Check out our new mapping option as well. Once you've searched for a burial of interest, click on the Map It link to see the burial location on a map.
In addition, we have recently scanned all lot cards and transferred cemetery records from a legacy system to a new, on-line system for use by staff. The Cemetery Division is pleased to be working with local vendor Boston Computer Scanning for both the scanning and the CemeteryFind application.
